Tip of the Day: If a guest responded that she would attend the bridal shower, but never showed up and didn't call to send regrets, it’s okay etiquette-wise for the hosts of the party to call her after — not during — the shower. They should check in to see if everything's okay with her and tell the bride why she couldn't make it. No one else has to know if she has a health problem, a family emergency or some other sensitive issue going on. 

A great host just expresses their concern and support but keeps hush-hush about the details, even if others ask. And if that guest just flaked, and there's no sensitive issue, no sharing that juicy story, either. You're all class, after all.
